moreHand made wooden model of an old fashioned general store.

To visit the Jakov & Fox Drug Store, open the flaps to see the architecturally detailed store front flanked by marquetry panels of a horse drawn cab coming and going.

The box opens to show the interior of the store with customers and lots of merchandise. So much merchandise that the customer standing in the door doesn't know where to turn. Near him is a butcher with his block and some meat and hanging sausages. To the left are brooms, hammers, shovels, barrels milk cans and a butter churn. In the middle of the store is a lady buying some fabric laid out by a clerk on the cutting table. On the other side of the store are shelves filled with all manner of bottles, jars, canisters, coffee grinders, lamps, hoops, books and who knows what. To the right is a back room with more milk cans, bails, bins and hardware. There is another lady who wants something on a high shelf the proprietor has no intention of getting. The two lady customers and fabric counter are attached to a flap that folds down when the box is opened.

Everything inside the Jakov & Fox store and out is made from different types or shades of wood. The human figures look like they were carved by a different person and each has its own unique expressiveness of face and pose.
